the bar-kays - antecipation

Anticipation

I can't hardly wait

Tonight the need for love, is here between us
And the desire for each other, we cannot hide
Cause anxiously we wait, to feel the passion
That the hunger in our eyes, can't disguise

So girl let's not waste, another moment
Trying to decide, right or wrong
Just come and hold me close, to your body
And let's release the love we've been holding back so long

I'm trying so hard to be patient
but when you're near me I loose control
And there is no time for hesitation
and if you don't give your love to me
I'm going to explode from

Anticipation, anticipating your every move
Anticipation, anticipating what we're going to do
Don't make me wait... yeah

So girl let's put an end, to all this waiting
And let the power of our desires, tonight unfold
No matter how hard, we try to fight it
When the needle rises baby, it's time to let go

I'm trying so hard to be patient
but when you're near me I loose control
And there is no time for hesitation
and if you don't give your love to me
I'm going to explode from

Anticipation, anticipating your every move
Anticipation, anticipating what we're gonna do

Ooh... yeah

Every breathe you take

You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you

Then you took your love to someone else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt

You didn't have to squeeze me but you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to hold it but you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you

But you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to make it like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you

And thrown in the street
Had the problems of a man
At the age of three

I love by the clock
And live by the gun
If you ever met the father
Assume you met the son, yeah

Check now
I'm the son of Shaft
(Now you can believe that)
Have trust on me

You and I, we were alright
And then you suddenly changed
Without a cue, I had lost you
As if I never knew your name

So many things to say
And I need to find a way
‘Cause it's though you're here but gone
And I'm left here all alone

On the outside, well
(Standing on the outside)
Whoa, baby
(Standing on the outside)
I'm standing on the outside, yeah
(Standing on the outside)

Maybe you do, then maybe you don't
Or maybe you don't even care
He has no love and he has no heart
And baby, I know that's not fair, no baby

So many things to say
And I need to find a way
‘Cause it's though you're here but gone
And I'm left here all alone

On the outside, oww, whoa, baby

Yeah, hey, hey
Oh, yeah

I'd been having my
Eyes on you for awhile
Girl, it's something about your act
And I sure do like your style

Maybe it's the way
That you carry yourself
Maybe it's the way
That you ride around

You move with the feeling
And you sure know how
Girl, I'm out to get your love
And I'm too hot to stop now

Yeah, yeah, yeah......

I don't mind if I'm considered uncool
Cause I believe to each his own
I don't play that rule

When you find the special one

the bar-kays - running in and out of my life

One day you're here, next day you're gone
When you gonna stop running in and out of my life
One day you're near then I'm left alone
When you gonna stop running in and out of my life
One day you're here, next day you're gone
When you gonna stop running in and out of my life
One day you're near then I'm left alone
When you gonna stop running in and out of my life
Oh girl you better watch what you do
Before I find somebody new

I must admit that I'm just a man
And it's so much I can stand
All I want to do is love you
But you keep slipping out of my hands
I can show you a side of love
That you never felt before
But how can I keep you happy
When you keep walking out the door

(chorus)
You keep me pondering, you keep me wondering
When you gonna stop running in and out of my life
I love you so but I need to know
When you gonna stop running in and out of my life
You keep me pondering, you keep me wondering
When you gonna stop running in and out of my life
I love you so but I need to know
When you gonna stop running in and out of my life
Oh girl you better watch what you do
Before I find somebody new

If you think you are gonna treat me
Like the fellas in the past
Then here am I to tell you woman
That this thing just won't last
I know you really care for me
But not like I care for you
We can stay in love
But with faith and understanding
We can love like lovers do
